Chapter 8 - The Two Queens (I)
"If it weren't for these two women, I might not be the man I am today." Aenar Targaryen, a year before the conquest, watching Rhaenys and Visenya Targaryen.
-------------------
At the Nexus of Space and Time, Jon discovered that he could shape the place to his liking. So he transformed the entire Nexus into the most important place in the Targaryen dynasty: the island that each heir to the Iron Throne would receive as a fief upon his coronation. Dragonstone.
"Home sweet home." Visenya commented as she looked at the huge black stone castle that stood on a hill on the stony island. The entire architecture of the castle had dragon-like aspects, as if it were a giant dragon in the shape of a castle. There were fierce statues of dragons and other creatures on the walls of Dragonstone.
This made the whole castle not only terrifying, but especially majestic, making everyone feel awe and respect before such a monstrosity of stone, dragon fire, and ancient magic.
The queen's lilac eyes turned to the boy walking beside her. Six months had passed since she had taken over Jon's guardianship, and in that time she had seen a boy who had been quiet and strong, but without any princely aura, transform into someone worthy of the title of prince.
A development that Visenya watched with satisfaction. In these six months, she had grown fond of this future offspring: he was everything Aegon needed in a son, not only noble in character, but also talented in politics and a great warrior. Frankly, he was the son any king would want to succeed him.
Instead of the two extremes of Aegon's sons, her son and Rhaenys' son. One was too strong, the other too weak, both kings lacking what the other lacked most. But as a mother, she would support her son, right or wrong.
"I didn't ask, but to which noble house does Dragonstone currently belong?" Visenya asked as she climbed the steps leading to the castle. His eyes scanned every part of the island with a strong yet nostalgic gaze.
"Stannis of House Baratheon, younger brother of King Robert Baratheon." Jon replied as he studied the massive castle with a curious gaze.
It was the ancestral home of the Targaryen dynasty, but when Rhaella Targaryen abandoned it, she announced the end of the dynasty in Westeros.
